Sturrock axed
Paul Sturrock is now the ex-manager of Sheffield Wednesday. It's easy to point the finger and say good riddance to bad rubbish, but I would be lying. Sturrock struck me as someone who had a vision for the future. Yet Wednesday are struggling and losing to Colchester Utd 4-0 is shockingly bad. The performance was perhaps worse than the result indicates.I am surprised he has gone. For one who is going to succeed him? Wednesday are a big club but perennial under-achievers and more importantly the whole team needs an overhaul. We need a new keeper, we could do with another centre-back, and we need a bit of creativity in midfield. A winger and a quality striker would help but it's not Christmas. Yet.
It's a shame as he had just celebrated two years in charge of Wednesday and, personally, I thought he was the right man for the job. However, one point remains: Wednesday are already in a relegation cock-fight but we are yet to play the majority of the good teams. It may well be a very long season.

You've just got rid of the best manager in the league! He just needs a bit of time and trust. At Argyle we were really sceptical when he was appointed but he was given a bit of time, we trusted him when he brought in unknown players like David Friio, Romain Larreiu and Graeme Coughlan (now of Wednesday) who turned out to be 3 of the best players we've ever had! Result? Two championships in 3 seasons!
He did get you promoted in his first season in charge.
But you have played one of the good when you beat us in August.

"Big club but perenial underachievers"
I think about half of the football league could claim to fit that description whether it be down to a glorious past or coming from a large City yet there is only room for 20 places for teams in the Premiership. In the Premiership you now have teams like Fulham, Wigan, Charlton and Watford - all teams that are not particularly big but have achieved a lot in recent times. Supporters of these so called "Big clubs" ought to get things into perspective and can learn from these "lesser" teams.
